December 21, 2004: I have not read a book quite like this one, but this is a good thing. It is a book about a man trying to help his wife's lover. Not a commonplace occurance. The author uses the point of view of each character to tell the story. The characters in this book are well-crafted and unique. The relationships between the characters keep you reading. It is a good story with an original plot. For a new type of story and a good read, I recommend.
